Show t f V Losing a football game to Layton is hard for any Falcon to endure, but losing Mike Arrant for the season is even more tragic. Mike Arrant, the offensive fullback and defensive middle linebacker broke his hand early in the second half of the Layton game and may be lost for the season. Mike has been anchorman for both the offensive and defensive units. When he isnt plowing through the center of the line as fullback, he is plugging gaps from his linebacker position. He also kicks off for the Falcons, and kicks field goals and extra points. He will be sorely missed by Clearfield football. LAYTON reach. foot short of paydirt, but was injured on the play. An alert head linesman Lancer defense, especially against the pass, was awesome. Larry The noted the injury and signaled' to stop the clock with just two ticks left. The timekeeper missed his call and the clock ran out. The officials went into conference and determined that the clock should have been stopped at the d mark. By now, the Lancer team had left the field and were half way to the locker room. The Layton coach sent them on in and engaged in a shouting match with the officials. After 15 or 20 minutes, the team was called back to the field, and Clearfield had one last play before halftime. The Layton coach used the incident to good advantage and when those Lancers came back onto the field, they were mad. Clearfield tried a fullback run up the middle, but the big and furious Lancer line stopped the Falcons cold. That one play took something out of the Falcons, and seemed to inspire the Lancers. They were still fumming when they returned for the second half, and the Falcons were played to a stand still. Clearfield made a gallant effort in the last half, but without the services of Arrant, they had to rely solely on their passing game, and it wasnt enough. Layton hammered them up the middle, and scored another TD and made the two point conversion to put the game out of Read was sacked nine times, and took a pounding on keeper plays, when he couldnt find open receivers. Roger Vincent was cited, along with Larry Read, by the Layton team, for their outstanding play. two-secon- 7 Layton scored in the first quarter and early in the second quarter to take an early 13-- 0 lead, but the Falcons struck back to score with 4:26 left in the first half, and stay within striking distance. The Falcons had another opportunity to score as the half ended, but failed. They intercepted a pass and with less than one minute to play, passed their way deep into Lancer territory.

Weber took an early one touchdown lead, but on the third play from scrimmage, lost their running sensation, Brian Ballif, with a knee injury.

The Royals showed an enrollemnt of 1,342, but the Scots had 1,340, in the top three grades of high school. Roy High School is the smallest 4A high school in Utah. The Royals are one of three 4A schools with an enrollment of fewer than the 1400 students required to give them 4A status. The other twenty schools of Regions One, Two and Three, all have in excess of 1400 sophomore, junior and seniors enrolled. Biggest of the lot is Cottonwood with 2,649 students. If Roy and Ben Lomond were combined, they would have only 33 more students than Cottonwood. Can you imagine the . athletic talent the coaches would have to choose from in such an arrangement? West High School (1,349) and Bountiful (1,390) are the schools of the 4A other two sub-pa- r ranks. Roy was urged by the Utah High Association Activities School (UHSAA) to become a 3A school this year. Principal V.E. Griffen, with the hearty endorsement of the Royal coaches, declined the offer, Roy is a explained growing community, Doctor Griffin, and it would be only a matter of a few years before we would have to move back to 4A status." Mr. Griffin hinted that the Weber School District was talking of changing school boundaries, which would transfer some present Weber High .'hoo. ,'urtents to Roy.

If Roy were to finish out of the running in major sports, a few people might give some thought to stepping down to the ranks of 3A. That happened to South High of Salt Lake City. The Cubs became the doormat of Region Three, behind such teams as West (1349 students) Granite (1654), Highland (1842), Olympus (2005), East (2066), Skyline (2119) and Cottonwood (2649). Now South High School has become fourth largest in Region Four as a 3A school, and has become an annual contender. Roy would be third largest school in 3A Region Four, if it joined the schools. I wouldnt wqnt to see Roy drop out of the 4A classification.
